ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

 

Collaborating with Strangers is a two part workshop led by Bess de Farber, the Grants Manager at University of Florida Libraries. As a Certified Professional Facilitator through the International Association of Facilitators, she invented Collaborating with Strangers Workshops, under the umbrella of CoLAB Planning Series®, which are large group facilitated processes for individuals and organizations seeking new collaborative partnerships. This process has served more than 600 organizations and 2,500 individuals since 2002.

​

The first part of the workshop, Collaborating with Strangers, consists of Artists and Collaborators meeting in the Gallery to form relationships.

​

The second part of the workshop, CoLAB Café, is a shorter workshop reviewing the day before and solidifying relationships with new collaborators. 

​

GFAA will be having an exhibition titled CO-CREATION, an exhibition based solely on collaborative projects - this workshop CAN be a way to meet co-creators for this exhibition, but participation in the exhibition is not required!
